Oh Wouldst Thou In Thy Glory Come
Author: August H. Francke; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.7.87.8.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Oh wouldst Thou in Thy glory come,
As Thou, Lord, hast foretold it!
I count the moment’s weary sum
Until we may behold it;
With burning lamp, the Church, Thy bride,
Is waiting for the holy tide
When Thou, Lord, wilt unfold it.
2 Yet I would leave it to Thy choice,
The hour when we shall meet Thee!
Though Thou dost love that heart and voice
Should daily thus entreat Thee,
And henceforth all my course should be
Still looking on and up to Thee,
With heart prepared to greet Thee.
3 I joy that from Thy love divine
No power my soul can sever;
That I may dare to call Thee mine,
My Lord, my friend, for ever!
That I, O Prince of Life, shall be
Made wholly one in Heaven with Thee,
In life that endeth never.
4 And therefore do my thanks o’erflow
That one more year is ended,
And of this time, so poor, so slow,
Another step ascended;
And with a heart that may not wait
I hasten towards the golden gate
Where long my hopes have tended.
5 And when the wearied hands give way,
And wearied knees are failing,
Then make Thy mighty arm my stay,
Though faith and hope seem quailing;
That so my heart drink in new strength,
And fear no more the journey’s length,
O’er doubt and pain prevailing.
6 Then on, my soul, with fearless faith,
Let naught to terror move thee,
Nor list what earthly pleasure saith,
When she would lure and prove thee;
The eagles’ wings of love and prayer
Will bear thee through life’s toil and care
To Him who still doth love thee.

Oh Wouldst Thou In Thy Glory Come
With trembling awe the chosen three
Author: W. W. How Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 With trembling awe the chosen three
The holy mount ascended,
Where, wrapped in blissful ecstacy,
They saw the vision splendid--
Their Lord arrayed in living light,
And on His left hand and His right,
By glorious saints attended.
2 O vision bright, too bright to tell,
The joys of heaven unveiling!
How precious on those hearts it fell,
When earthly hopes were failing;
When, saints no more on either side,
Between the thieves the Savior died
'Mid hate, and scorn, and railing!
3 Grant us, dear Lord, some vision brief
Of future triumph telling,
Gilding with hope our night of grief,
Our clouds of fear dispelling.
If the dim foretaste was so bright,
O what shall be the dazzling light
Of Thine eternal dwelling! Topics: The Church Year Sixth Sunday after Epiphany; The Church Year Sixth Sunday after Epiphany Used With Tune: [With trembling awe the chosen three]

To us salvation now has come
Author: Paul Speratus, D. D.; Dr. Henry Mills Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To us salvation now has come,
God's wondrous grace revealing;
Works never can avert our doom,
They have no power of healing.
Faith looks to God's beloved Son,
Who has for us deliv'rance won,
He is our great Redeemer!
2 What God's most holy precept claims
No child of Adam renders;
But from the throne dread vengeance flames,
And speaks the curse in thunders.
The flesh ne'er prompts those pure desires
That 'bove all else the Law requires:
Relief by Law is hopeless!
3 But all the Law must be fulfilled,
Or we must sink despairing;
Then came the Son—-so God had willed,--
Our human nature sharing,
Who for us all the Law obeyed,
And thus His Father's vengeance stayed,
Which over us impended.
4 Now to the God of matchless grace,
To Father, Son, and Spirit,
We lift our highest songs of praise,
All praise His favors merit.
All He has said He will perform,
And save us by His mighty arm, --
His worthy name be hallowed! Topics: The Catechism Justification; Sunday after Christmas; Sunday after New Year's; Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity; Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity; Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: LUTHER'S HYMN
